The Dallas Cowboys have been working to improve their roster during NFL free agency and there’s been a clear goal in mind. The front office and coaching staff have been working to ensure they fill all their holes to prevent reaching for a player in the 2025 NFL Draft.
That’s a sound strategy since the only time Dallas really drafts poorly is when they get desperate — see Mazi Smith, Tyler Guyton, and Taco Charlton as examples.
As it stands now, their roster is close to being without a glaring need. They could get much closer if they were to sign these three players ahead of the draft.
With Jourdan Lewis leaving in free agency, the Cowboys no longer have a trusted nickel cornerback. Right now, Israel Mukuamu would be in line to fill that role but he has never held the job down for a long period of time.
That’s why Mike Hilton should be on his way to Dallas.
Hilton is one of the top slot corners in the league and still played at a high level in 2024 with the Cincinnati Bengals. Over the course of eight seasons, Hilton has 520 tackles, 11.5 sacks, 56 pass defenses, and 12 interceptions. This late in the free agency game, he might be willing to take a one-year deal, allowing him to cash in during 2026 free agency.
